    It’s shocking that this needs to even be said. I can’t believe there are functioning human adults (and in my experience it’s mostly older people) who are so unaware as to be ok with blasting tik toks at full volume.

        I’ve seen this photo used in memes since, and it’s weird to think that the poor dude is probably just some random stock photo model who now became famous as the face of “the worst person you know” 😅

    The other day I sat by the docks and played a song (singing and playing guitar). An elderly couple celebrating their 55 year anniversary sat next to me, and the man asked if he could record me playing a song.

    I’ve gotten used to that by now, but what I didn’t expect, was him then showing me the video (with audio), while I was singing another song. Once a guy found the original song I was playing on YT and played it on speaker to the rest of the audience and saying “this is the song he’s playing now!”

    Not really relevant, but the article made me think of it.

    Wetherspoons? An oasis of tranquility? Good one.

    But I do agree with the phone loudspeaker thing.
